Quick question if anyone can satisfy my curiosity.

My sister gave me Todd Martin's Grand Canyoneering book (1st edition 2011) for Christmas, but strangely just the last page - containing pages 499 and on the other side 500, after the index - had been torn out by someone without her knowing, which has left me intrigued to know what was so special about them

Perhaps it was some Beta or a map they wanted, but from a tiny corner left it may just have been 2 full-page photos - in which case does anyone have the book and know what they're of that is so amazing in a book full of nice pictures?
(or can they take a quick pick on their smartphone and stick it on here!)

That's where all the secret stuff was detailed..... ROFLMAO

Page 499 has a color picture of Mooney Falls, which is what I'm guessing was really taken.

Page 500 has a short "about the author" section.

Nothing missing that is of any real value in the way of beta.

ha, ha. Thanks Iceaxe. Weird that they ripped out a fairly well-known image that's dead easy to hike to in a book full of remote places! Maybe they framed it..

Bit of a disappointment - I thought it might be one of the most amazing canyoneering photos around!
